Cliché

Don't just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced successful life. I use the word balanced before successful. Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order. There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your breakup. There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of tensions.

Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there's no point coming first. Same is with life where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, may start to die.

One thing about nurturing the spark - don't take life seriously. Life is not to be taken sincerely as we are really temporary here. We are like a prepaid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up?

Its ok, bunk a few classes, scoring low in a couple of papers, goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, enjoy with your friends, fall in love, little fights with your loved ones. We are people, not programmed devices.

Don't be serious. Be sincere.

You grow everyday - mentally, physically, emotionally.

I am stronger now. I don't hurt as easily as I used to earlier.

I am coiling back into my shell slowly and willingly, but there are some experiences for company now, which makes me a different person, a better person, a secure person. They make all the difference between what I was five years ago and what I am now. Between the insecure, suspicious, overbearing me and the secure, independent, friendly me.

I know I haven't shared things here since a long time and have stopped reading and commenting on people's blogs. I have no reasons.

There is always someone you hate or love without any reason. You'd be tongue-tied if someone asked you to explain abput it. Then there are times when you don't feel like being around certain people and doing certain things. You draw yourself away from those things and people. You create enough distance to be comfortable. This may be read by some as attitude or rudenss but others, who have felt this way, will know how it feels, and would know is temporary and would know you still love them. But sometimes you just need your own space.

I am a freelance journalist working on a story about Facebook addiction. I chanced upon your comment on your friend Sush's blog post about the same topic (blog: halfglassfull. I left her my email address and leaving it here... I would love to talk to you, because you said something about trying to quit but that you couldn't.

That relief you feel when you see their eyes stunned and their faces pained - even if for a second - that momentary relief! That is what makes us say hurting things, to be mean. That's what makes us want to scream and swear and make them cry. That relief that makes you feel that you don't have to bear it alone. It's eerily peaceful!

That one short moment makes it less devastating. That you're not the only one with problems. You're not the only one fucked up. You are not the only depressed soul. You can see the ghost of the laughter that still hasn't left their mouth before your outburst and it gives you hope, maybe even a little perspective.
Suddenly, the world is a much bigger place and you're a barely-existent dot on that globe. You see the bigger picture. You see that there are much bigger problems. Problems that you would never, ever want to encounter. You see that the person standing in front of you - the person that you've just yelled at - it sp…

Your true journey starts
not when you choose and head towards your destiny
but when someone special crosses your path
and instead of moving on,
you leave everything behind
and follow that person
not worrying,
for once in your life,
about where you're headed
or
what you're leaving behind.

Life is a
bitch. My only advice to you is run. Run before she catches up with you and
bites you in your bum. If you’ve
read the above lines and agreed (sadly or grudgingly or whatever) you’ve been
bitten already, HARD and it wouldn’t hurt to yell some well chosen curses to
the wind either. Do it now. Let the pain out. Let your folks think you’re out
of your mind. Let someone get offended and yell some profanities back at you.
Let the birds fly away from you in shock. Let your boss fire you for going nuts.
No… no, don’t. I take that back. Go yell in a bathroom or something if you’re
in your office or yell at someone who works under you. Show them that you’re
the boss. Be Hari Sadu from the advertisement for naukri.com if you want to and
as liberating as that may make you feel, make sure the Hari Sadu of your life
doesn’t get to see your performance. *winks* After all he’s the one paying who
is paying you for everything you own down to your underwear, right? You see the
irony here? You c…
